Israel invasion of Gaza

No need for a long post here and I certainly won’t try to change anyone’s opinion. I just wanted to point out one small blurb in this BBC article.

“It brings the number of Israeli soldiers killed in the current offensive to 18.

The deaths of so many soldiers on a single day will shock Israeli society, the BBC’s Chris Morris reports from southern Israel.”

The number of Palestinians currently killed in the Israeli invasion as of 7/20/2014 stands at 425.

So if I understand this correctly, 425 Palestinians does not shock Israeli society but any more than a few soldiers of their own killed is shocking?

Seems the media continues to be very pro Israel. I read news from a number of sources around the world and in more cases than not the Palestinians are described as terrorists while that word has never been used to describe the Israelis.

Furthermore, in the opinion sections of most dailies I’ve already seen pro Israel pieces aplenty. Know how many pro Palestinian pieces I’ve seen in the Western media?

Zero.

Now that you’ve read the above you might think I’m pro-Palestine? I do not support either side. In one quick paragraph here is how I see it.

Israel has a right to exist. The Palestinians have a right to not be enslaved by Israel and create their own state. Israel should quit oppressing the Palestinians and the Palestinians should quit terrorizing Israel. There you have it.

Unfortunately, I do not see things getting any better. I see war for the next three centuries unless another world war redraws the maps again.
